Last week I had to share the sad news of my younger sister's death and a friend comforted me with a heartfelt note about the need "to muddle through in the randomness of life." That idea really struck me because in the natural order of things, life would unfold in an orderly sequence, and my younger sister would go last, not first. However; in life, things don't always go as planned. In my business, I look for, and therefore, often see, the unexpected crop up, at random times, in random places. I use to think we were somehow in control but, in Nature, as in the rest of life, it is that random seed cropping up in an otherwise planned garden, that can bring a special beauty in unexpected places. All of your notes and kind words, have brought comfort in this sad time, and although I didn't plan it, I am grateful for all of you and your beautiful and random acts of kindnesses.
